December 27, 20169 yr I ran across this RVR Monitor. I know it is "Runway Visual Range", but does anyone understand how to use it and it would be useful for flight simulation? http://rvr.fly.faa.gov/cgi-bin/rvr-status.pl Robert Yunque PilotEdge Ratings = CAT-11 (2016-09-13) I-11 (2016-10-23) V-3 (2016-08-01)
December 27, 20169 yr Yes, if you use real world weather. It gives a quick snapshot of the RVR at some of the major airports. 6000=at least 1 mile visibility. Most ILS minimums are 1800. Pretty handy.
December 27, 20169 yr I think that's a perl script, so wondering if the reporting frequency is live or every x minute(s). KIAH was 700, now at 800 (a minute or so later). Looking at current metar for kiah 271253Z 34003KT 0SM R27/1200FT FG BKN002 BKN011 OVC020 20/19 A3022 RMK AO2 SFC VIS 1/2 SLP232 T02000194 Just refreshed again and it went back to 700. 10700k / Gigabyte 3060
December 28, 20169 yr Author Thank you! Glad that it is something we can use. :smile: Robert Yunque PilotEdge Ratings = CAT-11 (2016-09-13) I-11 (2016-10-23) V-3 (2016-08-01)
